A great hour learning all... - A great hour learning all about the background to the Salt Farm, its history and seeing how they make their products was incredibly interesting. And to sample some of their products at the end was a highlight. Thoroughly recommended.

Absolutely recommend!! - Loved the guide and how knowledgeable and friendly she was. We took the tour and the mineral foot soak. Once you get past how cold the foot soak is, it's very invigorating! I had twisted my ankle and it was exactly what I needed. The amount of time spent was just right, not too long. I would definitely recommend it!!

Everyone should add to their activities - Tour was better than expected. I was using it to fill in time before my flight and so glad I did. It’s very informative and a one of a kind experience. I’m so happy Mel and Sandra are continuing to support this business and education for Hawaii visitors! I will continue to purchase their wonderful products, share with friends and support a worthy cause!

The Kona Salt Farm tour was excellent - My wife and I were on a group Hawaiian tour, and this was one of our stops. It was quite interesting. The gentleman who conducted the tour was informative and helpful. He even carried my wife's folding transport chair up some stairs and helped us get through some sand. I wish I could remember his name. Our tour group had lunch there and the food was excellent! The salt tasting was also very good. I was surprised at the different salt flavors there were.
